_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ That when I was [F] a _ _ child _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ Before life removed [F] all the _ innocence
[Bb] _ _ _ My father [F] would lift me _ high _
_ [Eb] _ And _ _ dance with my _ [Cm] mother
[F] And me and [Bb] then
Spin me around till [Eb] I fell asleep _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ Then up the stairs he would [Bb] carry me
_ And I [C] knew for sure _ I was [Bb] _ _ [F] loved _ _ _
[Bb] If I could _ get _ [Dm] _ another [F] _ chance _ _ [Gm] _ Another _ walk _
_ [Eb] _ Another _ dance with [Cm] him
_ I'd miss all that would [Gm] _ never ever end
How [Eb] I'd love, love, _ _ love
[G] To dance [F] with my father _ [Bb] _ again _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ I and my mother would [F] _ disagree
_ _ To [Eb] _ _ _ get my way I would run
[F] From [Bb] her to him
_ He'd make me laugh [F] just to comfort me _ _ _
[Eb] _ Then _ _ [Bb] finally make [G] me do
[F] Just what my mama [Cm] [Bb] said
_ Later that night when I [Eb] was asleep _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ He left the dollar [Bb] under my sheet
Never _ [C] dreamed that he
Would be [Eb] gone from [F] me _ _
[Bb] If I could _ still
[F] One final _ glance _
[Gm] One final _ step _
[Eb] One final _ dance with [Cm] him
I'd play a song that would [Gm] never ever end
Cause I'd [Eb] love, love, love _
[Bb] To dance with [F] my father _
_ [Bb] _ again _ _ _
Sometimes [Eb] _ _ _ I'd listen _ [F] outside her door _ _
[Bb] And I'd hear how my [F]
mother [Gm] cried for _ _ him _
_ [Eb] _ I'd pray for her even more than [F] _ me _
_ [Cm] _ I'd pray for her even _ [Bb] more than _ _ [F] me
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] I _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ know I'm praying _ [G] for much too _ much _
[Am] But could you send back
[F] The only _ man she loved
[Dm] _ I [C] know you don't do it [Am] _ usually
_ _ But dear [F] Lord she's dying _
[A] To dance [G] with my _ father _ [Am] _ _ _ _ again _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
